( This is just another species I designed but I dont plan on using on the RP board, unless people want it to. So please enough )
Species: The Taph
Homeworld: They originated in a pocket universe that was rapidly collapsing in on itself. It was a universe dominated by silica and other materials. A stray quantum spark hit such a depoist of silica, and with the random possibilty of quantum physics it was passed into the normal universe and into the galaxy.
It was a comet of quite epic size. It impacted a world far from the core on the border to the void between galaxies.
Population: Potentially trillions
Government: They are a collective. Sharing their thoughts and their opinions instantly with one another. But certain members can command their lessers.
Appearance: The average Taph stands about 10 foot tall with a body made entirely of metal. It stands on three legs arranged in a tripod fashion. The lower body mets the torso on a pivot joint allowing it move 360 degrees. Its torso is thick and heavy with metal plates and a number of different systems.
The head is a wide disk that is connected to the body again on a pivot. There was a large attachment to disk that serves as the face of the Taph. Each of the Taph is powered by a fusion reactor that supplies them with all the energy that they need.
Other Taph are huge ships miles long that serve as bases and weapon platforms. These super-sentient beings direct their lessers to their overall goals.
Life Cycle: The Taph are created on their homeworld in the vast factories. Each is unique and quite intelligent. They spend several decades on the homeworld before they are allowed offworld. When they leave they are only 8 feet tall and have less upgrades than their older peers.
As they grow older and add upgrades to their bodies they grow larger and more intelligent. Unless they are destroyed in combat, or recycled by their peers for failure or other crimes they are practically immortal.
History: Even before the dust cloud of the impact settled those pieces that surviving elements came together. Drawing energy off the sun to build up more of itself from the surrounding materials. Its expansion was slow at first only a few feet a day. But as its mass increased so to did the speed in which it spread. In time deep spikes where driven into the crust to harvest the materials it could not normally reach.
Within a century of undistrubed growth it covered the two connected northern continents. The first factories where constructed to process all the excess material. And the first of the Taph where created. Before this moment it was not sentient. But the first of the Taph was. The Emperor Taph as it became to be known, was super sentient.
